The Tusayan Ruins (aka Tusayan Pueblo) is an 800-year-old Pueblo Indian site located within Grand Canyon National Park,[2] and is considered by the National Park Service (NPS) to be one of the major archeological sites in Arizona.

[3] The site consists of a small, u-shaped pueblo featuring a living area, storage rooms, and a kiva.

[2] Tree ring studies indicate that the site was occupied for about twenty years, beginning around 1185.

[1] The site was excavated in 1930 by members of the Gila Pueblo of Globe, Arizona.

[5] The Tusayan Museum was built in 1928 to a design by National Park Service architect Herbert Maier and sponsored by Laura Spelman Rockefeller as a trailside museum.
